The red Caucasus lost its power in the Black Sea and could only float on the sea. Black smoke billowed from its tail. Up to now, the sailors are still struggling to rescue. This is their warship. They won't let it sink into the cold sea.

And Germany will not let it continue to float.

Two kilometers away, an fw190 fighter was flying low over the water. After checking the launch data for the last time, the pilot pressed the button.

A direct torpedo fell off the pylon on the belly of the aircraft and fell into the sea. The propeller at the tail rotated at high speed and rushed towards the red Caucasus!

"Attention, we have torpedoes on the starboard side!" The lookout is still faithfully performing his task. When he finds that the other party throws a torpedo, he immediately sends out a loud alarm.

If the power system of the red Caucasus is still intact, it can easily avoid the direct torpedo. It can accelerate or decelerate. But now, everyone on the bridge looks at the water splashing on the sea. It is a high-speed thermal torpedo, but they have nothing to do.

"Speed up, speed up!" On the right side of the red Caucasus, a destroyer bravely started up. The captain shouted loudly. He didn't seem to know that the marine had been adjusted to advance five long ago.

The destroyer blocked the torpedo's course with its own body. Then, a huge explosion came, and suddenly the fire burst into the sky.

In the fleet, the main warship is a warship protected in the center and escorted on the outside. At a critical time, it is necessary to use its own body to block torpedoes, just like the bodyguard to block bullets at a critical time.

The brave destroyer helped block the torpedo, but it could only help once.

Just as it ignited the fire, on the port side, another fw190 dropped a torpedo. This torpedo is an electric torpedo. There are no bubbles on the water. When everyone is watching the burning destroyer, it has rushed to the red Caucasus!

"Boom!"

Like the location of the bullet in the dive attack, it also hit the rear of the red Caucasus. When the 10000 ton warship was built, it did not consider any underwater protection. Now, with the explosion of the torpedo, the rear was immediately torn.

The surging sea water poured in and the hull sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"General, leave quickly. The ship will sink soon!" Tiller shouted to Gorshkov.

Gorshkov shook his head. "No."

"If you don't go, I won't go!" Tiller said, "all the officers and men of our ship are with this ship!"

"Tiller, you still have a difficult task." Gorshkov said, "no matter how hard you try, you should also return to the shore, go to Moscow and report this battle of our fleet to Comrade Stalin."

The fleet is almost completely destroyed. Then, Moscow still doesn't know how the Black Sea Fleet was annihilated. Now, tiller needs to report to it.

Upon hearing this, tiller was dissatisfied. At this time, the hull had begun to tilt and couldn't stand under his feet. Tiller almost roared: "no, why should I go? You are the commander of the fleet, and you go if you want to go! "

Tiller's state of mind at this time is unknown.

Anger? Why don't you go and let me report such a disgrace?

worry? Only in this way can Gorshkov be persuaded to leave?

"Sorry." Gorshkov said such words to his subordinates with helplessness on his face: "I have no face to see Comrade Stalin. I have lost the whole Black Sea fleet. I know this requirement is too much for you. However, under such circumstances, the Black Sea Fleet did not admit defeat and fought until the last minute, We should carry forward our spirit and let all Soviets know that your task is arduous. Forgive me. I'm a coward. "

"No!" Tiller still disagreed. He stretched out his hand to lakorshkov, but found that he couldn't move. Looking again, Gorshkov had tied his armed belt to the seat. At this time, he adjusted his collar and was serious: "now, in the name of the fleet commander, I order you to report the battle to Moscow. Do you want to disobey the military order?"

The red Caucasus sank within three minutes of being torpedoed.

Tiller sat on the lifeboat and watched the sea water go over the hull, the bridge and finally the mast. Tiller had everything in his heart.

It was not only the red Caucasus that sank, but also other warships. During this period, those who were bombed were bombed, those who were torpedoed were torpedoed, and the whole fleet was burning. They had disappeared as an independent fleet!

This day is the end of the Black Sea fleet.

At this time, the sun is about to set. At the other end of the sea, we have seen the figure of the huge German fleet. Unfortunately, now they don't even have the ability to fire a shot.

Clenching his fist, tiller felt two tears flowing down his cheeks. He was mourning the loss of the whole fleet.

Where the red Caucasus sank, the sea water gathered into a vortex and refused to stop at the sinking point, as if it were offering sacrifices.

The sorrow of the Black Sea fleet has long been doomed. When Germany occupied the whole Mediterranean, the Black Sea Fleet became an inland fleet, and they were shut down.

From the tactical analysis, Germany is very wonderful, which makes the Black Sea Fleet expose its aviation base, attack with carrier aircraft, and sneak attack the main force of the Black Sea fleet with submarines. These tactics are enough to become classics.

However, if, in essence, it was determined by national strength, when the Soviet could not even build a large battleship, and when the Soviet wanted to buy 406 naval guns and aircraft carriers from Germany, the end of the Soviet Navy was doomed.

You can't be strong by buying. Only your own industrial strength can make you really strong!

For the Black Sea fleet, their battle is not over.

The night gradually shrouded the Black Sea. After completely killing the main force of the Black Sea fleet, mashar ordered the fleet to move towards the Crimean peninsula. Now it was finally their turn to come out and completely flatten their naval base with naval guns!

Then, it's time to go north to support OSAD and cruise in the Black Sea to prevent the Soviets from continuing their maritime support to OSAD.

(in the history of the Soviet Navy, Gorshkov was a great man. He presided over the Soviet Navy for decades. Even in the era of Khrushchev, he eventually developed the Soviet Navy into an ocean Navy. Although the heavy aircraft cruiser sounds funny, it is indeed a symbol of the strength of the Soviet Navy, and the hero of East China also respects him very much, So I arranged such a heroic ending for him.)
